Stoning Rebellious Children? A Look At Dominionism

October 22, 2012

Sorry for being absent for so long but Marie and I were away for a week and I am now working on a book. Everybody eventually writes a book and I have one being poured out of my troubled mind right now. It is something with a spiritual theme, so you might enjoy it. More on that later.

Charlie Fuqua, the Republican candidate for the Arkansas House of Representatives who called forexpelling Muslims from the United States in his book, also wrote in support for instituting the death penalty for “rebellious children.”

In “God’s Law,” Fuqua’s 2012 book, the candidate wrote that while parents love their children, a process could be set up to allow for the institution of the death penalty for “rebellious children,” according to the Arkansas Times. Fuqua, who is anti-abortion, points out that the course of action involved in sentencing a child to death is described in the Bible and would involve judicial approval. While it is unlikely that many parents would seek to have their children killed by the government, Fuqua wrote, such power would serve as a way to stop rebellious children.
